Lynette Woodard should be considered the all-time women's college scoring leader until Clark passes her, but not Pearl Moore. Woodard did it at Kansas, a Division 1 i.e. major college as you said, but Moore's Francis Marion College was at the equivalent of D2 back then and is still at the D2 level now. D2 schools are much smaller and thus play against limited competition, so that's why no college sports mix records together from small colleges. For example, everyone recognizes Pistol Pete as the men's college bball scoring leader with his 3,667 pts, and no one says it should be John Pierce of D2 Lipscomb U. with 4,230 pts.

Lynette Woodard is my all-time favorite college basketball player but I like the idea of using the distinctions so that it's noted that she was, and now Clark is, the all-time D-1 women's basketball points leader and Moore is the all-time points leader regardless of division as well as the D-2 points leader. D-1 talent and competition is more elite, but Moore's accomplishment is still what it is. And for all the Clark fans out there who were dismissing Woodard, even Lisa Bluder said that she considered (before Clark broke the record) Woodard's total as the record. “Tonight is the night of the real record,” Bluder said. “For some reason, the NCAA doesn’t want to recognize the basketball that was played prior to 1982, and that’s wrong. We played basketball back then. They just don’t want to recognize it. That hurts the rest of us that were playing at that time. There’s no reason that shouldn’t be the true record. At a school like Iowa, which is so rich in AIAW history, I just want to make sure we acknowledge Lynette’s accomplishments in the game of basketball.”

You should begin your posts with playing some piano; as an analogy/reference/intro to your content. Then at the end as well, to punctuate your points. Cuz that would be cool.
